This auction is for my 1973 Corvette. It still has the original 454 engine. I bought the car from the original owner a few years ago. He told me he bought it when he came home from Vietnam. I don't know enough about corvettes to know if it is a "survivor " but to me it is. It is unrestored. It came out of his barn. I had to replace the tank meter in order to get it running(it was clogged up). I did some of the normal/ typical things one does to a car that had been sitting such as,: replaced the brake calipers, brake master cylinder, exhaust system(original style), had a new front bumper cover installed, re-chromed the rear bumpers. I also had to do a little work to the front head lights as the were stuck open. I installed new springs and new vacuum relays and that took care of that.The license plate bezzle is new old stock. I had some work done to the tack drive distributor. Mr. Lars Grimsrud rebuild the carb. (he's one of the best) I had a friend of mine that is a professional mechanic do some of the bigger jobs. He installed a new clutch and flywheel ring gear. He also installed a new cam, lifters, bigger valve springs and pushrods, harmonic balancer,etc. Two years ago he was supposed to pull the engine and rebuild it and he still has not. This is why I am selling the car. The plan was to put a new rotating assembly in the engine. Including dome pistons to increase the horse power.( I believe the engine is ready to be overhauled so it made sense to me to do a custom build on the original engine, so the mechanic talks me into this and then is to busy to do the job ugh)) The car has been sitting for two years now. I did drive it around the block once last year, that was the last time it was even started. I really don't like seeing it sit and would like to pass it on to someone with the time and money to restore this car. It's a valuable car. Many experts say this year convertible big block is a great investment. See www corvetteblogger dot com/2011/06/03/c3-corvette-makes-hagertys-top-5-attainable-dream-cars The NADA value is very high on these cars. I insured it for much more than my asking price. I just am looking to get my money back so please do not email with low offers or trades. I did find some interesting facts once I bought the car,:Only 4,943 convertibles made in 1973. Only a handful of 454s. only 1,328 Auxiliary hard tops(the cloth top needs to be replaced) This was no biggy to me as it is kept in the garage. the 454 is referred to as LS4, only 3,704 4 spds in 1973, it has tilt-tele, map light, manual steering witch is rare, most had PS. I am selling this car as is, where is, with no warranty implied or expressed. All sales are final. I will not take the car back so please ask questions before you bid. I normally leave something out so feel free to ask questions before you bid. Another interesting thing is the numbers on the engine block indicate that it is California emissions, but the car car sold new in NJ., Buyer is responsible for the removal of the car, I will not relaes the car until it is paid for. Please plan on transporting the car with in a week or two of the sale unless other arrangements have been made. Thank you for looking.

Sunday Drive: Performance comes in many shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 19 2017

The Chevrolet Corvette has always stood out as a bastion of reasonably priced performance, and the latest 'Vette has that in spades. And while its expected starting price of around $120,000 certainly isn't cheap, it's an undeniable deal in the supercar world – remember, this thing'll do 210 miles per hour thanks to its 755-horsepower supercharged V8 engine. And did you get a load of that massive rear wing? Team Corvette's longtime foe, the Porsche 911, is similarly hellbent on ultimate performance. And as a reminder of how long the Corvette/911 rivalry has been melting tires we present the 1990 Porsche 911 as reimagined by Singer you see below. It's beautiful, it's green, and it's packing 500 air-cooled horsepower. You don't have to burn gasoline to go fast, as proven by the second-generation Tesla Roadster, which was revealed as a surprise late last week. Elon Musk says it'll be the quickest car in the world with a 0-60 time of just 1.9 seconds. And while you may not think of a semi truck when you think speed, the Tesla Semi can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat unloaded, or in 20 seconds with a load of 80,000 pounds. Compared to today's crop of diesel semis, that's amazing. Continuing the truck theme, we present an artists rendering of what the next-generation Ram 1500 pickup may look like. Spoiler alert: Ram's mini-semi look is giving way to something much more modern. There may even be a first-of-its-kind split tailgate at the rear. And if you don't think the Ram 1500 has anything to do with performance, we should remind you that it's one of the cheapest ways to get a tire-shredding Hemi V8 engine in America. 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1: All hail the 755-horsepower C7 king This is the first Porsche 911 to get Singer and Williams' 500-horsepower engine Tesla Roadster surprise reveal | 'Quickest car in the world' Tesla Semi Truck revealed: Here are the key details This could be the next-generation 2019 Ram 1500 2019 Ram 1500 spotted with split tailgate

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
